急救医疗服务人员在紧急情况下负责生死抉择，却是报酬最低的第一响应者。
EMS workers, who make life-or-death decisions in emergencies, are the lowest paid first responders After 31 years in New York City’s emergency medical services, Oren Barzilay has started giving young New Yorkers advice he never imagined giving when he began his EMS career.
在纽约市急救医疗服务系统工作了31年后，奥伦·巴里扎伊开始向年轻纽约人提供他当初从事急救工作时从未想象过的建议。“别来这里，”他告诉他们。“你们只会伤害自己。”
“Don’t come here,” he tells them. “You are only going to hurt yourself.”
对于最近退休的FDNY急救医疗服务地方2507工会主席巴里扎伊而言，这是一个显著的转变。他对工作的看法或服务的价值并未改变。
It is a striking reversal for Barzilay, the recently retired president of FDNY EMS Local 2507. What changed for Barzilay was not his view of work or the value of service.
改变的，是他认为纽约市未能为那些冒着生命危险拯救他人生命的人提供应有的报酬。
It was what he believes is the New York City failure to pay the people who put their lives at risk to save the lives of others.
